When it comes to collections and records, the spotlight is often on the heroes, with fans engaging in heated debates and competitions. Heroines, however, tend to be overlooked in discussions about records. Nevertheless, it’s undeniable that their contributions play a crucial role. From this perspective, it’s safe to say that Samantha’s record is unparalleled and hard to beat by any other heroine in India.
Samantha boasts an impressive track record, with a remarkable 17 million-dollar movies in the US alone. No other actor, actress, or director in any industry, be it Tollywood, Bollywood, or Kollywood, has achieved this feat as many times as Samantha. Her most recent movie, ‘Khushi,’ once again propelled her into this exclusive club.
Samantha’s journey began with Tollywood’s first million-dollar movie, ‘Dookudu.’ Subsequently, she starred in a string of successful films including ‘Eega,’ ‘Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu,’ ‘Attarintiki Daredi,’ ‘Manam,’ ‘S/O Satyamurthy,’ ’24,’ ‘Brahmotsavam,’ ‘A aa,’ ‘Janatha Garage,’ ‘Rangasthalam,’ and ‘Majili.’ The latest addition to this list is ‘Khushi,’ which crossed the million-dollar mark within just two days of its release.
It’s worth noting that Samantha played pivotal roles in the success of movies like ‘A aa’ and ‘Majili.’ Even in the recent film ‘Khushi,’ she took on the lead role. Samantha has also ventured into lady-oriented films like ‘U Turn,’ ‘O Baby,’ and ‘Yashoda,’ all of which performed well in the US. Few heroines in Telugu cinema can match Samantha’s ability to draw audiences to theaters.
While opinions on Samantha’s looks and performance in ‘Khushi’ may vary, her track record in terms of box office success and her ability to connect with audiences remain unmatched.
